Insights: Götterdämmerung

12 January 2027

As The Royal Opera prepares to bring Götterdämmerung to the Main Stage, join Barrie Kosky and Antonio Pappano in conversation on Wagner's conclusion of the Ring cycle.

An elderly woman representing Erda in Barrie Kosky’s Götterdämmerung is at the centre of the frame. The woman’s expression is somber, she has pale skin and grey hair and is seen through a swirling, surreal, tunnel-like vortex. The scene is distorted as if viewed through spinning glass, with streaks of light, sparks, and warm glowing fragments spiralling around her.
